While often doggingly pessimistic, I usually agree with the just of what you're saying, but Lowry is equally garbage as Gay is, his contract is just less bad. They both suffer the same selfsih, inefficient, ball-magnet, immature tendencies that prevent the team as a whole from getting better.

I guess we disagree there. I though Lowry was very good last year. Moreso when he was allowed to attack the rim and look for his own offense. A big part of the Raptors problems last year was too much Gay and Derozan and too little Lowry and Valanciunas on offense, IMO.

He'll never be an All-Star but I get confused when I sometimes read that people would rather have someone like Brandon Jennings instead of Lowry.
